Purple Coat

I have a hankering for a purple coat and am intrigued by the unusual flared shape and hood on this one from La Redoute.

One potential problem is that it is from a plus size line and while the sizing starts at my usual coat size (UK 14/US10) I wonder how the fit will be.  The second problem is that its potentially over priced (£159) for a High St coat of indeterminate wool content.  I'm thinking it will end up in the sale.  What do you think?

Cheers me dears x
